One might think that it is "all in [his] head" as an ironic contrast to the title and upbeat rhythm. There's definitely an element of playfulness to the album, but the playfulness is all in the cognitive processing - the actual vocal and instrumental emotion feels heartfelt. I noted one instance in "Somebody told me" above, and the obvious element in this song is:

Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his [dick]chest now

because of course, that's what you keep expecting to hear. It's so blatant that you have to repeatedly listen to the song before it will even flow smoothly in your head (or that has been my experience).

huh?

i think the singer claimed MANY musical influences... one of them being the Cure... i think he kind of sings/whines like Smith(Cure) on Mr.Brightside.

does anyone think he looks possibly androgynous

and i think their sound is rather unique in contrast to what's on the radio these days in at least, the airwaves of large cities.

Never heard it. What kinda song is it? Genre I mean. They play it on the radio or something?

I like the Killers but think Mr. Brightside is one of the weaker songs on the album.

Indie Rock & Roll is my Fav.

 

[Shawn]

I'm still listening to this album. :thumbsup:

Agreed. I love the entire album. Great live show too...not very "flashy", but SOLID performers. The guy's voice is amazing.

 

[FeuerFrei]

I love the Brightside tune. Though much of that album is just meh.

 

[Icepick]

Mr. Brightside ROCKS!!!!

The entire album is well written, performed, and produced. I give it a big :thumbsup:

 

[neutralizer]

I liked "Change Your Mind" the best.

I'll be seeing them in August.

I bought the album a few months ago. I like it. Mr. Brightside is a good song.

 

[Quasmo]

I used this song in a movie I made (dont tell the riaa) I really like it.

 

[JRock]

It makes me change the station when it comes on... I am so sick of the mainstream Crap... They need an all Metal Station... JMO...

 

[sniperruff]

it's one of the better songs on the cd. overall i think their lyrics really suck... they don't make sense at all!

 

[LtPage1]

overplayed.

 

[RgrPark]

once u keep listening to the whole album, you will find yourself liking the others songs more than this
